Karate Camp....

Jazzy spent the week at karate camp. I was there at different times during each day, and never saw them do any karate except on Memorial Day! The placed was packed with little kids, pizza and drinks spilled everywhere today... mass confusion (to me anyway). I am sure THEY were having fun. They saw "Happy Feet" at Harkin's Theater yesterday, Peter Piper Pizza trip one day, Water and Ice a few doors down *every* day- a place to get ice cream/candy/shakes/water and ice. Then... the big day.. today they went to Silver Lining Hunt Club to ride in the morning. It was 112 degrees today, so they returned by 10AM..... I am told. Jasmine said.."I got to ride a horse all by myself"... (I kind of doubt it:)... "and his name was King". I didn't get to go, but I am hoping they will forward some photos to me! They even each received little yellow camp tee shirts with a Japanese karate guy on the front:)

Happy First Week off School!

Grandma's Birthday Party.....

Today was Grandma's 77th Birthday party. We did everything kind of backwards. First we gave her the gifts...the customary Kohl's gift card, an Origami Owl customized necklace, a beaded necklace made by Jazzy, and some other stuff from Grandpa that we never saw. Then... we sang Happy Birthday and had cupcakes frosted by Jasmine. Then later out to lunch. A little backwards... but we had alot of fun...

Kindergarten Field Trip....

Lunch at Desert Breeze Park in Chandler, a very crowded place today! Then off to Makuto's Island- a place I boycott because they charge parents full price to just stand and watch. It's a fun place for the kids... kind of like an indoor jungle with trees, ropes, bridges and tunnels.

Lilly, Jasmine, and Genna

Jazzy came home from Makuto's Island and said "I feel like I've been to Hawaii today!!:)
